| Keywords: | Animal ethics |
| Details: | Animal welfare is a topic that plays an increasingly important role in public perceptions, politics, and science. Animal welfare science has become a cross-disciplinary area of study in which veterinary science, biology and animal husbandry join forces, and which is often consulted to guide processes of development in legislation concerning animal protection and in the practice of animal use. However, the variety of uses of the concept of animal welfare sometimes leads to contradictory conclusions regarding the scientific evidence, and ambivalence in the relation of empirical research with animal ethics and policy. The autumn conference 2009 brings together scientists representing animal welfare science, animal ethics, law, and philosophy of science, in order to discuss how philosophical analysis and explication of the scientific terminology, concepts and theory may support the further development of animal welfare research in light of the animal welfare concept’s broad use in animal ethics, society and legislation. |
